Home Maintenance Checklist

April 13, 2015 By

Check water-purification and water-softener filters.

Test the water-heater pressure and temperature-relief valve for proper operation.

Clean and freshen your drains.

Degrease and freshen your disposal.

Clean and replace furnace and air-conditioner filters.

Check the steam system safety valve and steam gauge.

Check the water level of your steam system.

Clean the filter on the interior of wall-mounted heat pumps.

Check air intakes for insect blockages and debris.

Clean the range-hood filter.

Clean your appliances.

Remove and clean range burners.

Wash and rinse the dryer lint screen.

Clean and brighten tile and grout.

Deep-clean all types of flooring.

Test fire-extinguisher pressure gauges.
